Jackie,

Interesting approach. General acceptance criteria for solderability
workmanship is of a visual nature, i.e. inspect for signs of proper wetitng,
pits, voids, good filet, etc. Inspection is simply that, "seeing" the
condition and comparing it to visual representatives. Whether it be IPC,
MIL-STD, ANSI or Bob's Cut-Rate Solder Defect Pictures.

I have instructed production and inspection personnel at this company that
'poor workmanship' is indeed cause for rejection. Considering quality goals
and the direction I want my company to go, even those 'visual defects' need
to be weeded out.

I can understand Purchasing personnel wanting evidence of actual
nonconforming conditions; however, where does it end? When is there ever
enough data? In my opinion, either everyone follows the same guidelines,
everyone works toward 'defect-free', or everyone simply walk's away.
